SUMMARY:Profs & Pints Iowa City: The Hunted Witch
DESCRIPTION:Profs and Pints Iowa City presents: “The Hunted Witch\,” on witchcraft belief and witch persecution in Europe and New England\, with Waltraud Maierhofer\, professor of German and Global Health Studies at the University of Iowa\, teacher of a course on witch hunts in history and fiction\, and editor or translator of several German novels based on real witchcraft trials. \nProfs and Pints is bringing to the Graduate Iowa City an event that you’ll find spellbinding: A fascinating look at the history of belief in witchcraft and attacks on those suspected of practicing it. \nFocusing mainly on European witch trials that long predated the notorious ones in Salem\, Mass.\, Dr. Waltraud Maierhofer will shatter many common myths about witch hunts and accused witches. \nFor example\, you’ll learn how\, contrary to popular belief\, most witch trials did not take place in the Middle Ages but later\, in the Early Modern period. Prior to then\, belief in magic and in its use for either good or evil penetrated people’s worldview\, but most people regarded witchcraft—the use of magic for evil—as a “forgivable sin.” \nThe Early Modern period brought with it a confluence of developments that aroused fear and contributed to suspicion of the existence of evil forces and of people harnessing such forces for personal gain. These developments included the Protestant Reformation\, challenges to a God-centered worldview\, scientific discoveries\, the formation of distinct European states\, and weather changes\, known as “the little Ice Age\,” that left people looking for scapegoats for crop failures. \nIn response\, demonologists convinced worldly authorities that “witchcraft” should no longer be viewed as forgivable but\, instead\, as an “exceptional crime” that must be eradicated. The “witch\,” they argued\, needed to die and name others. \nProfessor Maierhofer will discuss findings and theories regarding who the accusers were\, who benefitted from witch trials\, and which people were especially vulnerable to finger pointing. You may be surprised to learn how often the accused\, rather being odd old women with cats\, instead were both men and women with wealth and power. \nWe’ll also look at what today’s conspiracy theories have in common with historical witch hunts and where and why “real” witch hunts currently occur. (Advance tickets: $13.50 plus processing fees and 12 percent state and local sales tax. Doors: $17\, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. Talk starts 30 minutes later.) \nImage: A woodcut depicting supposed witch Mother Shipton from the 1834 John Ashton book Chap-books of the Eighteenth Century. (Public domain.)

SUMMARY:Through the Lens of Play: A Presentation From Nancy Richards Farese
DESCRIPTION:The Iowa Children’s Museum is proud to host award-winning photographer Nancy Farese as part of our 25th-anniversary celebration! Farese invites you to explore the profound impact of play through the eyes of children across the globe.\n\nFrom the laughter of children in refugee camps to unstructured play in diverse cultures\, Farese’s work shows how play transcends boundaries and fosters resilience and healing. Drawing on her travels to fourteen countries\, Farese challenges us to reconsider the essential role of play. Join us and discover how play can transform how we educate\, care\, and connect as adults!\n\nEVENT SCHEDULE:\n\n11:30 AM-Noon: Meet & Greet with Nancy Farese\, Gallery Tour\nEvent attendees will have the unique opportunity to meet Nancy Richards Farese and tour her moving photos throughout The Iowa Children’s Museum. Participate in a staff-guided tour of these impactful photos of children playing throughout the world and speak directly with the photographer who captured them!\nNote: Lunch will not be provided during this event\, but you are welcome to bring a meal or grab something from the food court outside of our doors and enjoy it during the presentation!\n\nNoon: Artist Presentation\n\nNothing lights up the brain like play. Humans need play\, and lots of it\, to wire up our brains for a lifetime of development and flourishing. And yet\, a common misconception about play is that it is unimportant. Join award-winning photographer Nancy Farese to explore what happens when we invert the notion of adults teaching children and instead see what children can teach adults about the power of play to build resilience\, collaboration\, and just so much fun.\n\n** RSVP: This event is free and open to the public\, but pre-registration is encouraged.
